Unparalleled Sword Emperor

He did not know how long he had walked in the strange stone forest, but Ling Yunfan suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked towards his right, somewhat puzzled, and fell into deep thought.    

How strange. Why is there such a strong medicinal aroma here? And why is it the type that is about to evolve into a medicinal fragrance?" Not long after, he could smell a whiff of fragrance not too far away from him. Because he was originally a high-grade saint rank alchemist, he immediately recognized that this was the pill fragrance that would be released from the furnace after the pill was formed. Then, as if he had made a decision, he thought to himself, "Only human martial artists know how to refine pills, and there should be people somewhere.    

Immediately after, having already decided to go over to investigate, he first suppressed his aura and Spiritual Energy fluctuations to a minimum before quickly walking away with light steps.    

As he hurried in the direction of the pill's aroma, Lingyun discovered that the tunnel was growing larger. Although the colourful boulders did not seem to be closely connected, their color was exceptionally bright. Some of them even began to emit a faint glow.    

Because as he went deeper, the surrounding huge rocks started to change color, and the spiritual energy of the world, which was already considered rich, actually turned into something similar to the plain where Ling Yunfan had stayed before, which had the Holy Orb of Spring. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with his help, condensed into a misty liquid form, causing its life force to become abnormally flourishing, and even its spiritual ingredients grew extremely well.    

Of course, there was a difference between here and that place. The fog that stuck to one's body would give off a scorching feeling that was ten times hotter than ordinary volcanic magma. There was even a small amount of fire type energy mixed within.    

"It should be right in front." After a quarter of an hour of travel, Lingyun stopped in front of a barrier that was emitting the aura of the sixth level of the Martial God Realm. Sensing that this barrier had probably just been released not long ago, he immediately concluded in his heart: "I wonder which power's disciple made it.    

Although the defensive power of this level of Spiritual Energy Barrier was able to block attacks of similar strength for a short period of time, it was naturally useless against an existence like Ling Yunfan who had already reached the Transcending Mortality Stage. However, he did not directly destroy it.    

Therefore, he used up a little bit of his Spiritual Qi to enter it and made some changes to it. Thus, he opened a gap and entered it.    

"Zheng."    

"Hey!"    

After entering, Lingyun turned a corner and felt a faint killing intent coming from the front. He took a few steps back.    

"What are you doing …" When he once again raised his head to look, he discovered that there was an extremely sharp longsword that was covered with faint flames in his throat. His heart was immediately filled with fury, and just as he was prepared to angrily rebuke the other party, he saw the face of the person holding the sword and opened his mouth with a face filled with surprise, "Aren't you Miss Yan Yan?"    

Because he had met someone he knew, he was originally angry at being treated in such a manner. But now, he felt relieved.    

Upon hearing his familiar voice and rarely smelled address, Yan Yan Yan, who had originally maintained a murderous heart and wanted to attack at any moment, immediately looked to the front. When she was stunned to discover that the person in front of her was actually the person she often missed, she covered her small mouth and exclaimed with an expression of disbelief, "You …" It's really Elder Brother Yun Fan!    

Once he finished speaking, he cast his curious gaze on Su Ming, looking as if he was trying to find something on him. That look of his was extremely presumptuous.    

"If there isn't a second person in this world named Ling Yunfan, then I think I am the person you spoke of." Being stared at by Yan Yan Yan's fiery gaze all of a sudden, Lingyun touched his nose and replied somewhat uncomfortably. He then pointed at the sword in front of him and said: "Also, can you take this thing back? It's strange to be able to maintain this posture and chat."    

As he spoke to here, he didn't know if it was intentional. In front of the other party, he wiped the blood from the wound on his throat that was caused by the Qi earlier.    

"I'm sorry …" Perhaps because she was too shy, her pretty face swiftly turned red not long after she lowered her head. It seemed that fresh blood was about to come out of the ground. After a long while, she spoke with an apologetic tone, "I'm really sorry. I thought that some enemy had barged in, so …"    

With that, the little girl froze on the spot, looking extremely cute like a child who was afraid of being punished for doing something wrong.    

Seeing him like that, Ling Yunfan was also amused. He immediately walked up and patted his little head and said, "Don't be like that, I'm not blaming you. After all, if it was me, I might have just killed him."    

"Ai …" "Right." Yan Yan Yan, who was originally filled with regret, was immediately cured after receiving his consolation. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly nodded his head with a smile and responded. He completely forgot his previous mood.    

After about ten minutes, seeing that this girl had returned to normal, Lingyun asked slowly: "Why are you here, and why did you intentionally release a barrier of spiritual energy?"    

Although he had already guessed who released the barrier, he still had a lot of questions that he needed to answer. Although he didn't need to know, he couldn't help but want to know why due to his curiosity.    

That was why she needed to do so. Moreover, from the cautious manner she had displayed just now, it was obvious that she was preparing for her enemies. It was likely that she had been forced into a desperate situation by some powerful opponent.    

Sure enough, after his question fell, Yan Yan Yan opened his mouth and began to explain to him little by little. He mentioned that he had entered this stone forest because he sensed that there might be some kind of treasure there with Zi Lin and the others.    

"So, is there anyone else with you?" Lingyun asked curiously when he found out that Yan Yan Yan was not alone here.    

"Yeah, I'll take you to see them." Seeing him ask, the little girl thought that he wanted to see other people. After a quick reply, she didn't wait for anything and immediately grabbed his hand, quickly running towards the back.
